I get Grassley is still a functioning 90 year old but he’s such a dumb old school bush conservative who does nothing but write strongly worded letters, just get rid of him Iowa

China wants to try and pass the US economically. That has been Xi Jinping's strategy since he took power. All these countries capitulating to Trump puts China in a rough position that they sorta put themselves in. Their only options now are to cooperate or try to turn Africa and Central Asia into a dumping ground for consumer goods that no one wants or can afford.

I think they cooked up the Ukraine invasion with Russia to act as a test case. Russia wanted them to distract the US by invading Taiwan, and that’s about all they wanted.

Russia looked weak when they didn’t decapitate Ukraine in a US style modern blitz, and then China was like “oh, so russia isn’t as strong as we thought. We might get too much attention, invading Taiwan right now.”

They worried too much and didn’t give the Biden admin enough credit for how big of pussies they are.

Then everyone was pretty sick of the US and wanted us to deplete ourselves in Ukraine to exhaust the old bipolar world order

"I'm in Love with the Villainess" because the faggot author put all their creative thought into explaining the only reason gays are bullied is because their bullies are secretly closeted trannies.
I wish was making that up.

Shoutout to this oldie but goldie, people are still praising how le hecking brave and stunning the author of this series was for EPICALLY "calling out" Japanese society for being more accepting of incest smut than gay smut, and how people who think being gay is a sin also jerk off to Oreimo, hypocritical much heerrrmmmmmm?

Despite the very book she's writing this very deep and biting social commentary in itself being shallow lesbian-fetish coomer isekai slop that was popular among normies.

The Dodo being so retarded and predator-less that they would just waddle up to humans and get clubbed to death until extinction is both hilarious and sad. Nature is weird sometimes.

Kind of like liberals and how they treat minorities, don't you think?

With the full breadth of Trump’s tariffs slated to kick in on Wednesday, Apple is stockpiling iPhone inventory in the United States as quickly as possible. A new report from The Times of India today says that part of Apple’s strategy to limit the impact of these tariffs is to stockpile as much inventory as possible in the United States…

According to senior Indian officials cited in the report, Apple flew five planes full of iPhones and other products from India and China “in just three days during the final week of March.”

“Factories in India and China and other key locations had been shipping products to the US in anticipation of the higher tariffs,” one source to The Times of India

Apple currently assembles the entire iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 lineups in India as well as China. A 10% baseline tariff on all imports into the United States kicked in on Saturday. On April 9, the tariffs that Trump has falsely labeled as “reciprocal” will kick in. This will raise the tariff rate on imports from China to 54% and imports from India to 27%.

By stockpiling as much inventory as possible in the United States, Apple can delay the impact of the tariffs. It’s unclear just how much inventory Apple has on hand in the US right now, but if there’s one thing I know, it’s to never doubt Tim Cook’s supply chain prowess.

If Apple is able to stockpile enough iPhone inventory in the US for the foreseeable future, it could stave off having to increase iPhone prices until the iPhone 17 launch this fall. Its other products, however, might not be so lucky. For example, most build-to-order configurations of the Mac ship straight from Apple’s factories in China to consumers in the United States.

AAPL stock is down nearly 5% today and down 18% in the last five days on the impact of Trump’s tariffs.

…and while I was writing this story, Trump took to social media to threaten an additional 50% tariff starting Wednesday on imports from China unless the country walks back its 34% retaliatory tariff. That would bring the total tariff on imports from China to a whopping 104%. You can’t make this up.

Nah, I think Putin went fucking crazy and thought that invading Ukraine would work.

Scuttlebutt is that, during COVID, Putin was really afraid of getting sick and basically sequestered himself the entire time while only communicating with a handful of people. One of them was Dugin. He basically did the world leader equivalent of spending too much time in the basement and then he went out to touch grass.

The US response was fucky because no one expected it to happen, like Saddam with Kuwait.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA Looks like he wriggled out of a bind yet again.

But they secured the China “alliance” and publicly announced it 20 days prior to the invasion.

That’s actually fantastic. I hope they bring back the Dodo so I can have Dodo wings.

>total chink death may happen without spending the life of a single American soldier
Neat.

I'll place my knapsack on my back
My rifle on my shoulder
I'll march away to the firing line
And kill that Chi-nee soldier
I'll kill that Chi-nee soldier
I'll march away to the firing line

Yeah you're right we should just nuke the entire state and turn into into a giant parking lot.

Can we just kill everyone and turn it in to a Battlefield Earth national park? "This.. is from the before times. When New Jersey was.. Joisey, and the people worshipped a Snookie and "The Shore"." Somethin' retarded. If you've seen the movie you know what scene I'm referencing. Fuck I'm too high for this.
